Betting Threads

[Tom]

I like reading the BB forums but after the first week or so I have to avoid them for the rest of the series purely because people put betting odds in titles. I avoid polls etc because I like to be surprised at the result if I don't predict it right and just have the crowd to go off but the bookies are usually pretty much right.

Anyway the first betting odds thread has just popped up about favourite to win. I know thats never right so I suppose I can overlook at at this point but when the series properly kicks in and people put "X FAVOURITE TO BE EVICTED" it gets quite annoying and ruins the series.

Anyway is there a chance there can be some kind of rule where you can't put betting 'spoilers' in thread titles? I'm not alone on this am I?

I get what yer saying Tom.. It's guna be pretty hard to police it though..

Are the bookies normally right with their odds.. ?

[bronaaaa]

Yes, I completley agree. Even with news before Big Brother started there were spoilers in thread titles, and I'd wanted it all to be a suprise :sad:

If there was just one stickied betting thread then that would solve the whole problem. Then any other betting threads could just be merged into the new one.

Apart from odds to win and the odd eviction, yes

I hate all spoilers in thread titles. I also hated when someone had the BB chair in there avatar and I wanted it to be a surprise.

I was gonna do that before, but they probably won't even see this post as they only stick to the BB10 forum.
